Overview
Mission
Promote the development of disc golf throughout the Pierce county region. Maintain local disc golf courses, clean trash, repair and replace equipment. Provide free or fee-based, friendly, recreational opportunities to residents and visitors.
What it reported doing in 2024
Management and Communication: All activities are managed through the board of directors and the course leads. The club does a significant amount of outreach on social media and its website to make the public aware of our various events and other matters concerning disc golf and our courses. Board members work with landowners and agency staff to coordinate activities, solve problems that arise and work towards new disc golf opportunities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
